Chapter 207

"Brother!"

Mokuba suddenly waved. You Xuan followed his gaze and immediately saw President Kaiba appearing at the door.

"How are things with those AIs?" Mokuba asked.

"Boring tricks, that's all," Kaiba said coldly. "A bunch of clowns; they won't be able to jump around for much longer."

As he spoke, he paused and looked at You Xuan.

He seemed to notice that You Xuan had picked out that newly developed Kuriboh deck, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift slightly.

It was as if he felt You Xuan had an eye for choosing this, and it also stirred up various memories of the President's years of grudges with the Kuriboh-God...

And not knowing if it was this choice that made him see a bit of an old friend's shadow in You Xuan again, the President repeated and emphasized not to let him down in the competition, and then turned and walked away.

You Xuan suddenly thought that saying the President didn't lose his original intention in the process of crawling through the darkness wasn't entirely accurate. In fact, Seto Kaiba when he first appeared in the story should have been someone who had lost himself.

It's just that he met the Pharaoh.

After losing to Dark Yugi, he took a hit of the Pharaoh's Mind Crush. His inner darkness was torn apart, but he retained a tenacious self. In a sense, it might have been Yugi who helped him find his original heart.

There might also be some factors like this, which is why the President would never forget Dark Yugi for his entire life.

"Oh, by the way, the link system I showed you last time, the hardware debugging is almost done."

Mokuba said as he walked to the console, opened a box, and took out the device that looked like a headset.

"This is the new model after debugging, which can be directly linked and used with the latest duel disk you received earlier," Mokuba explained. "The system is still in the internal testing phase.

If you have time, you can log in and try it out; you can duel with other duelists from all over the world."

You Xuan examined the device with interest: "The duelists participating in the internal test should all have pretty good strength, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. A portion of the qualifications are completely randomized, so the level of the duelists who get the qualifications might be uneven. Of course, there are also some who are players in the current professional league; they should be relatively more professional.

In addition, there are also our business partners, as well as quotas for friends in the political world, etc..."

"I see." You Xuan rested his chin on his hand.

In that case, the dueling environment of this link system feels quite rich; it's indeed a good place to practice online when you have nothing to do.

Although he can still find opponents in Duel Academy, he is already too famous in the school, and the students are mentally prepared even if they get beaten. It's time to broaden the battle pool and let more duelists from all over the world experience the fun of dueling.

"Alright, I have to go to a meeting too. If there's nothing else, you should go back first."

Mokuba got up and then smiled mysteriously.

"Speaking of which, your school might welcome a surprise tomorrow."

"Oh?" You Xuan asked, "A new card box?"

"Hahaha, that's not it," Mokuba kept him in suspense. "You'll know tomorrow."

However, even if he didn't say it, You Xuan seemed to have guessed what he was referring to.

The legendary first-generation Duel King, a replica of Yugi Wu Teng's deck.

According to the original storyline, it seems it's about time for that to happen. The matter of Kagurazaka from the Ra Yellow dormitory stealing Yugi's deck.

To be fair, Kagurazaka actually performed quite well with Yugi's pile of cards; the tactics that should have been played were actually played, and a bunch of high-level vanilla monsters in the deck didn't even brick. It's just that, in the end, he still couldn't pull what the opponent could.

If there's a chance to play a match and experience Yugi's deck, that wouldn't be bad either...

"Wow, have you guys heard? Mr. Yugi Wu Teng's deck, eh!"

Judai, who had just heard the news, was so excited that he couldn't even sleep in class, and he said this while gnawing on bread at the canteen at noon.

"Tomorrow we'll be able to see that legendary Mr. Yugi's deck! That's the strongest duelist in history..."

"Big brother, you've already repeated that many times," Marufuji Sho laughed.

Hayato said: "To be accurate, it's actually coming tonight. Although the exhibition doesn't open until tomorrow, it's said that the deck seems to be arriving on the island tonight..."

"Really?" Judai was even more excited. "Alright! Then let's sneak in tonight and take a look in advance..."

Marufuji Sho: "Eh? That's not good, right? Won't it be against the rules..."

"Psh, what's there to be afraid of," Judai waved his hand indifferently.

It was as if he were saying, haven't we done enough things against the rules already?

"Ah, You Xuan! Over here, over here!"

You Xuan, who had just entered the canteen, saw Judai waving at him with exaggerated movements at a glance.

"What a coincidence, are you also coming to the canteen for lunch today?"

Judai intentionally or unintentionally squeezed Marufuji Sho into the corner to make room for his good brother.

"No, I'm just here to pick up the cards I pre-ordered," You Xuan said. "Cards I pre-ordered a long time ago, they just arrived today."

"I see... ah, speaking of cards."

Judai put away his smile and thought seriously.

"Two days ago, that machine that invaded the academy island, I could feel that it seemed to have similar power to what you mentioned before, You Xuan.

The duel with it also felt very dangerous, just like the 'Shadow Duel' you mentioned."

You Xuan nodded: "Yes. There is a dangerous group behind them, but Kaiba Corporation is already working on handling it."

"Hmm. Then, after dueling that guy, I remembered what you said to me before. We can't let the power of cards be abused by evil people, so..."

He pulled out a deck.

You Xuan: "!"

Good guy, I was just saying it, and you actually pulled it?

You Xuan looked Judai up and down, as if he suddenly looked at the jellyfish-head with new eyes.

Are you still the same jellyfish-head I know?

"But it used some kind of virus lockdown deck, which has very poor compatibility with me, and I couldn't use it at all, haha," Judai scratched his head. "Then I thought, You Xuan might be interested..."

You Xuan: "..."

He originally wanted to say, isn't this bad?

Even if you can't use it, couldn't you keep it and exchange it for something else...

And then he suddenly thought, oh right, Judai is a second-generation rich kid; it seems he has never lacked money.

Then it's fine.

He took a deep breath, accepted the deck Judai handed over, and at the same time gripped his hand tightly.

The solemn look in his eyes seemed to say, from today on, we are iron brothers for life.

Such solemnity instead made Judai seem a bit uncomfortable for a moment, and he scratched his head blankly: "Ah, I didn't do anything, anyway, if I can help you with anything, it would naturally be for the best, haha..."

You Xuan suddenly even felt that it was a bit unfair to have snatched so many cards from Judai to play with...

Sigh, forget it, forget it.

I'll leave this one to you tonight.

You Xuan, of course, knew that according to the original plot, tonight most of the academy would coincidentally want to sneak into the exhibition hall to observe the Duel King's deck in advance. As a result, Kagurazaka was the fastest, getting there first and directly snatching the deck.

Then the first person to find Kagurazaka was Judai. And precisely because of this, Judai was able to duel with Yugi's deck.

In the entire first season of GX, where the main storyline is all daily life, this also seems to be one of the most important card games for Judai.

Since that's the case, it's better to leave it to Judai, lest the kid's card addiction gets stifled.

Thus, that night You Xuan simply stayed in the dormitory and didn't get involved.

However, he never expected that sometimes when fate arrives, you can't stop it even if you want to.

You Xuan, who was taking a walk after dinner, was just about to return to the dormitory when someone suddenly jumped out of the bushes by the roadside with a rustle.

You Xuan stopped his steps and frowned slightly: "Kagurazaka?"

Why aren't you accompanying Judai to duel, and instead ran back to the dormitory?

"The No. 1 of the Ra Yellow dormitory, Fujiki You Xuan!"

Kagurazaka unfolded his duel disk, holding his head high and chest out.

"Now I have obtained the strongest deck and possess unprecedentedly powerful strength! I will no longer lose to anyone!

Come on, this is my battle of revenge and shame! This duel will decide who is the new king of the Ra Yellow dormitory!"

You Xuan: "..."
